With over 100 restaurants across the UK, we pride ourselves on delivering exceptional dining experiences while fostering a culture of collaboration, innovation, and performance.

As our business continues to evolve and grow, we are looking for a talented Management Accountant to join our Birmingham-based Finance team. Working alongside two experienced team members, this is an exciting opportunity to play a key role in supporting financial operations across our multi-brand portfolio.

The Role

As a Management Accountant, you will support the delivery of accurate, timely, and insightful financial reporting for multiple brands within the group. You’ll be hands‑on with month‑end processes, partner closely with operational leaders, and contribute to continuous improvement across the finance function.

This role is ideal for someone who enjoys working in a varied environment, is confident working with data, and can communicate financial insights in a meaningful way to non‑financial stakeholders.

• Business Partnering: Work closely with Operations, Commercial Finance, and central teams to provide financial guidance, challenge assumptions, and support business growth.
• Balance Sheet Integrity: Complete robust balance sheet reconciliations, identifying risks and opportunities and maintaining compliance.
• Process Improvement: Identify ways to streamline financial processes, improve reporting accuracy, and enhance efficiency across the team.
• Cost & Overheads Management: Support the management of overhead budgets, helping stakeholders maintain cost control and visibility.
• Audit Support: Assist in the preparation of audit files and liaise with auditors to ensure accurate and timely submissions.
• Collaboration: Work closely with your two team members to ensure tasks are shared effectively and deadlines are met, supporting a high‑performance culture.

About You

• Part‑Qualified or Qualified Accountant: ACCA, CIMA, ACA, or equivalent, with solid management accounting experience (hospitality, retail, or multi‑site experience desirable).
• Analytically Strong: You’re comfortable working with large data sets, spotting anomalies, and explaining key trends clearly.
• Commercially Aware: Able to translate numbers into operational insights and influence decision‑making at various levels.
• Proactive & Curious: You seek ways to improve processes, increase efficiency, and add value through better reporting.
• Collaborative: A team player with strong interpersonal skills and the confidence to work with stakeholders across the business.
• Organised & Detail‑Focused: Able to manage multiple priorities while maintaining accuracy and meeting deadlines.
• Communication Skills: Clear, concise, and confident in presenting financial information to non‑financial teams.

What’s in it for you?

We believe in offering more than just a job—this is a career opportunity with exciting rewards:

• Feast on Savings:Enjoy 50% off your total bill for you and five friends across all our brands.
• Exclusive Discounts:Access special offers from thousands of retailers and restaurants through our BRG Spark App.
